Full Description & Details

it was around 9 pm, a clear night, and a bright white star........it was just over the eastern horizon (I think) and wasn't moving at all. With the aid of binoculars, I saw 2 plus white spots trailing off it at N., S., E., And W. but in lines to look like a cross. I looked up all that I could on satellites and ufos only to find nothing that looked like this. It moved (with in the hour) higher in the sky but retained it's shape.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

possibly
